Melissa Lyras, the Spotahome Brand and Communications Manager, said she hopes the research will help LGBT+ people decide which areas are best to live in: "While it's hopeful to see strides being taken in some countries to ensure everyone is accepted, it's evident there is still much work to do.

"LGBTI acceptance has hindered overall equality scores for many of the countries analysed and has highlighted this as a key area for improvement."
